Very nice Scott, I like it!

Thanks, imaging red emission nebula with the filters is good here, whereas imaging reflection or dark nebulae is a struggle due to light pollution unlike Kulnurra.

Another beautiful image Scott with great colour and lovely detail.
A very interesting field of view there.

I'd love to see you image some objects from Kulnura when you get a chance so we can see the difference.

Thanks
Yes I took just one flat and dark (should take more I guess.) Subtracted in IRIS
Indeed Id love to get Berts lens to Kulnurra, sadly I dont have a portable mount as yet.
